In the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Cody Rhodes announced that he would not be facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 to complete his story. The American Nightmare instead introduced The Rock, who had a face-off with The Tribal Chief.
However, the WWE Universe has expressed their disapproval of The Rock being in the main event of WrestleMania at the expense of Rhodes. Fans have tweeted out their support for Cody and started a new trend on Twitter. Many superstars have also shown their support for Cody Rhodes.
Why is “#WeWantCody” trending online?
WWE fans have expressed their support for Cody Rhodes, who has been sidelined since The Rock’s return to the promotion. During an episode of SmackDown, The Rock made an appearance and hinted at a potential match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. Although many fans have longed to see Reigns and The Rock face off, this could come at the cost of Rhodes’ opportunity to compete for the championship.
Some fans of WWE are unhappy with the recent decision to shift the focus away from Cody Rhodes and instead give more attention to The Rock. Many believe that Cody has been putting in a lot of hard work throughout the year, especially after his loss to Reigns last year. As such, there is consensus that he deserves the chance to finish his story by defeating Reigns at WrestleMania.

The WWE Universe has expressed its disapproval of The Rock’s return in a recent YouTube video, which has received an unprecedented number of dislikes. Fans even booed a video featuring The Rock at a live event, which is unusual given the usual response he gets as the People’s Champion. Although most WWE superstars have remained silent about The Rock being added to WrestleMania 40 in place of Cody, fans have made their views clear on Twitter about who should face the Tribal Chief in Philadelphia.
Who will Cody Rhodes potentially face at WrestleMania 40?
Cody Rhodes has recently won his second Royal Rumble match, which guarantees him a shot at the World Championship title at The Show of Shows. Initially, it seemed like he was going to choose The Tribal Chief and avenge his loss from last year.
However, with The Rock making a sudden appearance, Rhodes’s story may have been put on hold. Despite this, he still has a decision to make. As WWE WrestleMania 40 draws nearer, there are several directions he could take.
During the Monday Night Raw event after the Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins interrupted Cody and presented a convincing argument for why he should be chosen by The American Nightmare. Interestingly, Cody accepted Rollins’ offer.
Furthermore, since Cody introduced The Rock as Reigns’ next opponent, it may be his next logical step to accept Rollins’ proposition and compete for the title. The two-month build can focus on various storylines, including Rollins’ quest to finally defeat The American Nightmare and both of them elevating the prestige of the World Heavyweight Championship.
